B2 Sole Source Justification Redacted_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record (MFR) documenting the justification for using a single-source acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for a U.S. Navy ship repair and maintenance requirement.

The requirement is for technical assessment, troubleshooting, and repair services for HPACs (High Pressure Air Compressors) No. 3 and No. 4 on an unspecified Navy vessel as part of ongoing ship repair and maintenance operations. Curtiss-Wright Fleet Solutions has been identified as the only available source with the necessary design drawings, specifications, and experience to restore the compressors to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards. The justification is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as the service is only available through the OEM or its authorized distributor/technical representative. Curtiss-Wright Fleet Solutions must perform OEM technical repairs, provide all parts and supplies through the Government Stock System, conduct complete inspection and operational testing in accordance with OEM drawings and repair standards, and ensure all repairs are completed and unit successfully restored to return the ship to Fleet operations and meet mission scheduling. The acquisition has been certified by Chris Besaw, Technical Representative, and approved by Shannon Johnson, Contracting Officer, both with digitally signed authorization blocks dated February 2008. The document was last updated in February 2023.
